Video: Targeting the Upper Class, Local Garments Ready to 'Triumph' in the Domestic Market

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Global geopolitical turmoil, stemming from the Iran vs United States conflict, is said by Director of PT Trisula International Tbk, Kevin Oen, to also impact the garment manufacturing, textile, and ready-made clothing retail trade industries. Kevin Oen noted that issues related to the Middle East war and reciprocal US tariffs remain sentiments of concern for the textile and textile products (TPT) industry. In facing this, TRIS is focusing on efforts to meet obligations to stakeholders while strengthening production, from sustainable raw materials to market expansion. Currently, the effects and challenges from global economic and geopolitical turmoil can still be managed by the industry. In 2026, TRIS will still focus on main markets in Australia, followed by the US, New Zealand, Japan, to Europe, and prepare to enter new markets in Africa. Regarding the domestic market, TRIS through its subsidiaries continues to record good performance supported by a focus on products for the medium-high market segment, thus still having a sufficiently strong market domestically. What is the impact of the 0% import duty regulation for Indonesian textile products on the export market? How about the impact of the entry of shredded worn clothing products from the United States (US)? And what is TRIS’s strategy to maintain competitiveness with imported products in the global market?
